LOL! It has been many years since I started reading your magazine: many years and many activities. Goodness, that was before I adopted the kids, and they have grown from being babies to being 16 and 17 years old! Many years and many changes indeed! I have, alas, become slightly disabled but, due to the wonders of science (and riding mowers and weed barrier for the vegetable gardens) my little 'stead is busier than ever. Age has its privileges: I started out is debt and with a shovel, I am now out of debt excepting for a mortgage and am mechanized. Life is good! I have also started writing, which I find hard to believe. I always thought that I did not have the patience for it! But, decreased physical activiity is a remarkably good susbtitute for patience, and so I am now writing. Sort of, any way. I was writing for ehow for fun and a little cash until they became demand studios. I still have not decided what to do about that. Still, what I DID write for them is still earning, so that is not bad! Do you know what gave me the confidence to try my hand at writing? You did, and I thank you for that! It was such a RUSH to see myself in print! It also gave me the confidence to try my hand at writing at other places. I think that I will write more as I have the time: It really is REMARKABLE how 2 teenagers can soak up almost every minute! Well, this has been a rather LONG thank-you note, and so I will end now with another THANK YOU, for giving me a change to write for Countryside! Terri So HERE is where you have been lurking! LOL!

So I know I may be different, but I enjoy reading what people are doing.....I read my old countryside magazines. Really been wondering what happen to all the people who were starting homesteads. So looking forward to reading your blog.......no such word in the eighty's.

Be assured that plenty of people read your writings even though the bulk of us don't ever comment (I would guess especially those of us who didn't grow up with a computer keyboard in their hands). Your years of experience and insights might seem old hat to you, but to others they are new and valuable. Jd,
